Mark Stalkerberg? Facebook Admits That It Tracks Your Mouse Movements

In a 225-page document responding to a set of 2,000 questions by the US Senate Committee on Judiciary, Facebook admitted that it collects information from and about computers, phones, and connected devices, including mouse, that users use with its various services and that it combines this information to give users a personalized content.

Facebook said that it tracks mouse movements to help its algorithm distinguish between humans and bots.

Tracking mouse movements also helps the social media giant, which has been under fire for its data privacy practices, to also determine if the window is foregrounded or backgrounded.

Data security is a modern age myth. In the recent times, tech giants, particularly Facebook, have been accused of aggressively and extensively harnessing user data. And now Facebook has just admitted how efficient it is at the task.
